"“Elizabeth has been advised by her doctors that further treatment of her cancer would be unproductive,” the Edwards family said Monday in a statement. “She is resting at home with family and friends and has posted this message to friends on her Facebook page.” The message from Edwards, the wife of two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, reads: “You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And, yes, there are certainly times when we aren’t able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It’s called being human. “But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn’t possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel to everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know.” Edwards was told by her doctors last week that additional cancer treatments were futile, said a source close to the family. Her prognosis was described in terms of weeks, not months, the source said. She is receiving treatment and medications, however, for symptoms and side effects. “She is not in pain and all things considered there is a good vibe here,” said the source. “She has prepared for this” John Edwards and their children are at her side, along with Elizabeth’s brother and sister."

I made the Michael Jackson thread before he died... Guess it's more sensitive cause she's well liked and dying of cancer?

12/7/2010 4:53:28 PM

"it's only a matter of time" for all of us

they're not dead until they're dead

12/7/2010 4:53:52 PM

Naw, I don't think it's cool to say anyone is dead until we're dead, unless we're talking about a parroty thread.

12/7/2010 4:55:15 PM

Oh well

12/7/2010 4:58:45 PM

we are all going to die

How could she be strong enough to type a letter to everyone about life one day, but be dead the next?

12/7/2010 5:09:02 PM

She gone

12/7/2010 5:09:11 PM

Yea I just saw that she passed today. Bummer. I really respect that woman for all she has been through and still managing to be such a positive person.

Well, she probably penned it a while back. Either that, or she dictated it, someone else embellished it and typed it

12/7/2010 6:50:43 PM

she was a raging bitch for much of her life, but I still feel bad for what she had to go through.

I wonder when John will have that rooftop wedding with his mistress. He's probably trying to find out how soon he can book Dave Matthews as his wedding singer.
